Realignment of SCC remains a question mark

No vote was held Thursday, but realignment options were discussed at a meeting of Southern Connecticut Conference athletic directors, according to SCC Commissioner Bill OBrien.

"We had a lengthy discussion about options, but nothing was resolved officially," OBrien said. "(Athletic directors) had chances to speak their peace. I understand not everybody will be happy, but the indication there was we are moving in the right direction."

There are at least five realignment proposals on the table, most likely putting large and small schools into their own divisions. Once the vote is taken, it will be given to the leagues principals for approval.

The Milford public schools, Law and Foran, could also be a part of the mix if the schools decide to leave the South-West Conference. The schools have yet to apply to join.

"Weve tried to make it clear that it would be very advantageous to have the Milford schools there," OBrien said. "If they are waiting for a formal invitation, we will try to do it soon."

OBrien hopes to have a decision rendered by months end so the league can realign in all sports, not just football.

"I hope this issue will be resolved like the others have been in the 10 years I have been in the league," OBrien said. "Chances are, we will have some realignment whether the Milford schools come in or not."
